Calbee Jagarico - Koume (Lotte Ume Candy)

It's that time of year again. I am seeing so many of ume flavored snacks popping up everywhere. This time, is Jagarico - Koume ume flavor! I had to look up what "小梅" (koume) was and found out that it is a Lotte candy with the same picture of the girl on the packaging! As I mentioned earlier when trying the ume flavored Jagabee, I love ume! And I had to get it because of the adorable packaging as well. I'm hoping that this flavor satisfies my taste buds than the Jagabee one.

First of all, I love how full this cup looks compared to the small Jagabee one that was nearly empty. You can see the specks of ume on each potato stick. I forgot how much I loved the firm and crunchy texture of the Jagarico potato sticks and very much prefer it over Jagabee's softer texture.

Because this flavor is based on the candy, it had a kick in taste. It was sour, but really sweet just like an ume candy. Although it was an interesting combination, I actually liked it. It may have been because of the crunchy texture of the potato sticks as well. 

I would recommend trying this flavor if you like ume! Not sure if it is my favorite, but it is a nice light change in flavor!
